Moss is common here due to our climate. We never recommend power washing, as it can strip protective granules. The proper method is a gentle, specialized treatment to kill the moss, followed by careful manual removal. We can also assess and correct any underlying issues like poor drainage or shade that encourage moss growth, and may recommend zinc strips to help prevent it from returning.

Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss is a sign of wear, often accelerated by our local weather extremes. We'll inspect your roof to determine if the loss is within expected limits or if it indicates the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan. Addressing this early can prevent leaks and water damage to your home's interior and structure.

Indirectly, yes. While windows and roofing are separate systems, poor window installation or old, drafty windows can contribute to moisture and temperature imbalances in your attic. This excess humidity can promote mold and even moss growth on roof sheathing. Our window installation service ensures a tight, energy-efficient seal, helping to maintain a stable attic environment that supports your roof's longevity.
